You may have read (or been told by your doctor) that mino can make your skin more sensitive to the sun or even you may burn more easily. That is true for some. But for those who tan easily, you may just get the mino tan! As it can make you burn easier, and tan easier. For Jess, she has always been a dark tanner. I have a story about how, once when she was about 6 and on the summer swim team, I was cheering for her during her race, the race ended and as the swimmer climbed out of the water, I saw that it was a black girl Jess' same size, Jess was in the next heat. She has always been one to get a very dark tan. Since starting the mino, see tans a bit faster, a bit darker, and it seems to last longer into the winter. This winter swimming outside daily in San Diego, she never lost her tan. She gets asked every day if she “fake and bakes” (ie. goes to a tanning salon).
Over long periods of time, and rarely, some long term APers report that their skin begins to turn bluish.
